We both are wide awake silently still
In the heat of the night
Although we both sleep next to each other
We’re feeling miles far away inside
Was it there something I did
To make you feel this way
Though I tried not to hurt you
Though I tried my best
Yeah, I should have known better
'Cause your love's like a thorn without a rose
Every thorn has its rose
Just like every dusk night has its dawn
Just like every cowboy hero sings his sad, goodbye song
Every thorn has its rose
We danced in the spotlight, shadows on the wall
With laughter echoed high, now it’s a distant call
The dreams we built together, oh, they shimmer and fade
But the echoes of your whispers, in my heart they invade
Did I take you for granted, did I miss the signs?
With every note I strummed, I’m losing what’s mine
'Cause your love's like a thorn without a rose
Every thorn has its rose
Just like every dusk night has its dawn
Just like every cowboy hero sings his sad, goodbye song
Every thorn has its rose
Memories lie scattered, like petals on the ground
Where beauty once flourished, now silence is the sound
I thought success would save me, but it’s a hollow prize
When love is left behind, in the shadows of the lies
Now I’m staring at the sunset, a haunting silhouette
The stage lights dim slowly, and I’m drowning in regret
I reach out for your hand, but you’re slipping away
With every song I'm writing, I’m wishing you would stay
'Cause your love's like a thorn without a rose
Every thorn has its rose
Just like every dusk night has its dawn
Just like every cowboy hero sings his sad, goodbye song
Every thorn has its rose
So here’s to the moments, the laughter, the tears,
To the highs and the lows, through the tangled years
Though the spotlight may shine, it can’t wash away
The thorns in my heart, where the roses decay.
Every thorn has its rose,
Oh, every thorn has its rose...
Yeah, every thorn has its rose.
